The core number (ex fuel and food) is frustratingly stubborn.
Rates likely to continue their climb

Money going to take the path of least resistance and find safety

I just listened to J.P. speak. If there was ever any doubt these people are planning to crash the economy in order to save the dollar, that is gone.

As I have been saying for months, you people putting money in the market right now or making big decisions buying a house are whistling past the graveyard.

There are major opportunities coming and you won't have a stack of cash to take advantage.

I'm waiting for some talking-head comment that "core CPI remains stable".

What time frame and what sectors are you specifically thinking of?

If you bought stocks the day before Lehman collapsed you’d still have annualized over 11% through yesterday. Just food for thought.

Just keep waiting... just keep waiting...

Time in the market beats timing the market. Good luck with your timing skills.

After accounting for inflation?

Regardless, we have been leaning on the money printer for far too long and it appears those days are over. There will be implications that go along with that.

This what all the normies say. Cool. Keep dumping money in while the FEDERAL RESERVE is telling you they are crashing the markets.

About 8% annualized after accounting for inflation.

Not bad.

No, because that’s not how we traditionally calculate returns in stocks. If you do, it’s still a very positive real return.

Maybe, but buying when things are down 15-20% is never really a bad strategy.

How dumb is it to keep printing money for BS and giveaways while the fed is jacking up interest rates to fight inflation.

I don't think crashing the economy is the plan, but that a strong downturn is simply inevitable.



There was never a chance for a "soft landing" once the stimmy checks started going out, just a choice between how deeply the market would drop before turning around.

You are historically correct. But the highs we had were never real. Just a result of us printing an insane amount of cash and people had nowhere to put it.

Historically, people regretted selling great assets in a high inflationary environments especially when they moved to cash.
